What can I do when I experience intake problems with my WLS capsule?

Swallow capsules with a sugar-free liquid. Tilt your chin toward your chest while swallowing.

There are several things you can try:

  1. Moisten the capsule with some water before swallowing and take it with a sip of water or sugar-free drink. This will make it 'stick' less.
  2. Swallowing with your chin on your chest can also help, because doing so creates more space in your throat.
  3. Swallow the capsule with the last bite of the meal or a spoon of sugar-free mashed fruit. The capsule goes down more easily with solid food than with water.
  4. Alternatively, you can open the capsule, and mix the contents with a spoon of sugar-free mashed fruit.
  5. Do you have a WLS Optimum or WLS Forte capsule? You can switch these to a chewable multivitamin. With a chewable, you receive an extra tablet of iron and copper, because these are not in the chewable vitamin. Please contact our customer service if you would like to try this.
